MotherSunanda Kumariratana

Her mother was Queen Sunanda Kumariratana, Queen Consort, also a half-sister and cousin of King Chulalongkorn. She died with her mother and her unborn sibling, drowned when the royal boat capsized while on the way to the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace. Despite the presence of many onlookers, they were unable to help as the commoners were forbidden on pain of death to touch the queen, not even to save her life. The grief-stricken King Chulalongkorn later erected a memorial to her and his unborn son at the Bang Pa-In Palace.

Her royal cremation ceremony was held together with her mother in Sanam Luang, and was performed by King Chulalongkorn.
